Cricketers are human beings just like ordinary people. If they don't perform well, it is not right to hurl abuses at them. In today's world, hurling abuses or cursing cricketers is common. At times, some people go beyond any extent to drag cricketers' families by cursing them. Recently, Ben Stokes shared about a fans' abuse of his family. Some cricketers faced racist remarks as well. With the advent of social media, fans are misusing the platform by hurting cricketers' feelings. Some cricketers are suffering from bouts of mental illness and depression nowadays. Earlier, Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell took a break from the sport due to mental health issues. Cricket Australia supported the cricketer by giving him the much-needed break. Cricketers are not an exception to suicides which is a reflection of depression, personal or financial troubles and even health issues in a few cases. However, the cricketers' suiciding is more heard at the domestic level where the players face several issues in building their careers. It is found that about 20 International cricketers committed suicide due to depression, financial issues and because they were suffering from diseases for a prolonged period. The most recent of them is England's David Bairstow, father of current England wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow in 1998 owing to depression caused by conflicts with the administration of his county side Yorkshire.
